it's not just the rise of European players, it's the decline of American players, largely due to that BS AAU system. Look at last year's Houston Rockets. Some of the most talented athletes you've ever seen, who have no idea how to win as a team but would yell and flex after a dunk with their team down 20 points.

I have a theory about this - and it starts with a tangent: namely, the HUGE backlash from Black Americans against Korean pop artists being so successful in the US. As long as kpop was considered a niche phenomenon in the West, people were largely cool with it, but today, with BTS, Blackpink, Twice, NCT etc dominating album charts and selling out stadiums in the US, there has been SO much hatred against them, accusing them of being "culture vultures" (which is ridiculous considering South Korea is basically occupied by the US military, it's like accusing Mexicans of "cultural appropriation" for speaking Spanish) and other such nonsense. And as long as foreign/European ballplayers were seen as role players in the NBA, people were cool with that, too. But now, INARGUABLY, four of the five best players in the Association - Joker, Giannis, Embiid, and Luka - are not American. And see, the reason those two things are related is that, due to centuries of oppression, Black Americans had few options to succeed besides music and sports. And for decades, they excelled in those fields, to the point of total domination. So, it is understandable that they think of them as "theirs": you look at the biggest music stars of the past 50 years, and you have Michael Jackson, Prince, Whitney, Mariah, Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Drake (Canadian, but you get the idea); you look at the best NBA players of all time, and again, the list is dominated by people like Mike, LeBron, Kareem, Magic, Shaq, Kobe etc. So now, with foreigners - who looked up to those artists and athletes, and wanted to sing like Michael Jackson or Mariah Carey, or play like Mike and LeBron - not just catching up, but beating Black Americans at their own game, they feel, for better or worse, that something that is theirs - the very few things that actually ARE theirs - are being "taken away" from them. Add to that the typical American ignorance of anything that goes on outside of their country, and you get a mix of ignorance, resentment, and jealousy. And there is another factor: another American illness is narcissistic entitlement. The rest of the world sees Americans as borderline sociopaths, and a lot of American society is structured to exacerbate that situation. So while European ballplayers play on actual teams where they learn from (and defer to) veterans, the American AAU system creates selfish, "go for mine" entitled wannabe superstars, to the detriment of their teams. And OF COURSE the NBA, and the owners of its teams, want to invest in people who put team success first. You will never hear about Domantas Sabonis waving guns around in a strip club, or Giannis refusing to get in shape, or Luka getting suspended for kicking people in the nuts. The odd thing is that truly great Black American players are not the ones talking crap about foreign superstars. LeBron, KD, Steph, and former greats like Shaq or TMac - they constantly talk about how great Giannis is, or how Jokic plays the right way, or how Embiid is a beast. Look at who the hatred comes from - Gilbert Arenas, Kendrick Perkins, guys of that calibre. Because the thing is that LeBron does not fear competition: he would be great in any era, no matter against whom he would be playing. But in a league full of people like Luka and Giannis, Arenas and Perkins would be on the bench at best, in the G-League at worst.
The simple fact is that Black Americans are allowed to say these things without repurcussion. Black Americans are not the only people that faced oppression yet they behave like that is the case.
Black Americans are territorial. There are many cases where we can accuse them of trying to steal our culture(or other people's culture.) However that is followed up by accusations of biggotry. Yet they somehow get the pass to be as xenophobic as they want to be. Cause a disproportionate amount of chaos and mayhem, yet justify it by using "their history" as an excuse
Black Americans have thrown The backlash against asians has been an issue for quite some time. Trust me, I know that from experience. But they somehow get the pass as its difficult to even report discrimination from them. All because they have this "history" which somehow gives them permission to discriminate other people without consequence. And its a cultural problem. A culture that insists that no matter what they do, or say, it does not count as discrimination
Black Americans believe they can not be accused of discrimination due to their "history." That leads them to say whatever they want to others without fear of consequence
Its sad that instead of admitting that international basketball has caught up with US and start to reevaluate US basketball, they waste their time creating these false narratives against these international players.
For Europeans, the golden generation of players is the one of Petrovic, Kukoc, Sabonis senor, Gallis, Epi, Costa, and so many others of this generation. It's purely an NBA narrative that European players had improved massively since the 90s
I know one thing: if the NBA could organize an International vs US match during the All-Star weekend, I believe that the US team would be in deep water and might even lose. With players like Giannis, Jokic, Luka, Shea G, and Embiid in the starting five, and off the bench, you have Gobert, Kat, Sabonis, and Jamal Murray. That starting five could compete with anyone the US has got.
@@hectorarguelles1596 I hear this a lot but this is unfair to American players. He just listed 9 "international players" (international is a stretch as KAT was born in raised in the US but since plays for the Dominican NT because his mother is Dominican but then Embiid is now playing for Team US) that still leaves 3 spots open for the international team. So you are going to take away those 3 spots from deserving American players to give to underserving international players just to make an international team? Not only do many players get bonuses for making the all-star game it is also a lifelong accomplishment and honor for a players legacy to make an all-star game. Yes players like Lebron and Durant have multiple but many players just get selected to one or two.
Black Americans are very territorial and take pride in the fact their the best players historically. So they feel threatened which is ignorant and has become a problem for team USA. Pride comes before the fall. It shouldn't be like this but truth hurts. Stephen A, Perkins or Shay Shay won't admit this. I will along with my black wife.
Gilbert Arenas (Agent Zero) Zero High School Championships Zero College National Championships Zero NBA Championships Zero NBA MVP’s Zero Olympic Team selections Zero Basketball Knowledge Zero Class
Many black American players give giannis, embiid, Luka, joker and international players their props when ever they are asked about them. But guys like arenas stay hating.
Racism! Those guys being great players make guys like Gilbert arenas feel uncomfortable and insecure, when everything you do and think is define by race seeing guys like Luka and jokic succeed and reach heights that Gilbert never did, brings out his hate and insecurities.
Gilbert Arenas was never even being close to being as good as LUKA EMBID JOKIC and Greek Freak Gilbert’s career was literally nothing he didn’t accomplish anything
Draymond for sure has some undertone racist against international players, he is like players like Stephen Jackson, Gilbert arenas etc, etc, they hate it when international players get more attention
European players bring to the game what many buddy buddy American 'superstars' don't. Dedication, commitment and humbleness. Draymond and friends just can't keep up anymore and they lack the mentality to adept or admit. This schoolyard behaviour is just logical. The upcomming American (super)stars, seem to be build the more classical way. So when LBJ and the buddy generation retires we might see a better game.
Draymond needs some of that 80s-90s enforcement in the worst way....for a long time....till the scorecard is even...and makes his ass retire to a wheel chair.
Ironically, had he tried that garbage with Sabonis (had he been released by the Soviets in the 80's) he'd not only get schooled on the court, but physically demolished if he tried any of that weak hissy fit nonsense.
Anyone who is a fan of boxing will remember a similar situation in the 1990s and 2000s, when non-American heavyweight boxers began to dominate the sport. The American boxers and boxing establishment did everything they could to sabotage them, and it took around 20 years for them to be accepted.
The meaning of being a basketball player differs in USA/Europe, especially the NBA. American approach is individual overall, being a star, scoring most points, being MVP, Allstar, best on the team etc since the very beginning in High School. European basketball is more team-oriented and playing for a specific team carries more weight, cause European fans take it serious, it's not just a logo and a jersey color and playing for whoever pays more. Winning a cup means everything and nothing else is really that important unless it's extra along the way. A big reason for this might also be the fact that coaches in Europe are more similar to Army instructors than athlete "partners" as they are in the NBA, so you get the picture why athletes don't really celebrate individual awards and goals like that unless it's after winning a cup... I think coaches like Pablo Laso would probably make somebody like James Harden or Jordan Poole cry like a girl or get kicked off the team.
change in overall playstyle helps these euros/international players. less physical, a big plus to be athletic but it's now more on pace and skills. This is a disaster for these american atheletes. yes, it's great for older superstars like steph, KD and LBJ's career. it prolongs and help them get great numbers but the current play style is exactly how these euro/international players play. it's like all natural for them now. adjustment period is minimal and their skillsets are fully utilized hence, great numbers and MVP discussions.
Euro players are way more physicial than American players nowaday. Jokic, Luka, Embiid, Giannis, Sabonis... They play hard, way harder than most American stars today.
I’m obviously American and we have a lot of mfs that make us look bad. *Even in UFC with Colby Covington disrespecting Leon Edwards’ father who was killed* all while wearing the American flag “representing” us. I don’t stand for that. I was actually on Edwards side. I love all foreign nba players. Foreigners really dominate in all of sports!! A lot of Americans lack humbleness and they just straight up disrespectful.
Colby intentionally tries to be an A hole to get attention. Unfortunately people don’t care as much if you don’t plead for attention. Not that it makes it ok how he acts but at least he’s aware of what an Q hole he is.

@@yeelahowah7476 The answer is much more simple. People all over the world play Football (or soccer). What's the point of saying North America will beat the world in American Football ? The most famous sportsmen of the world are football players or tennis players.
@@yeelahowah7476 I was responding to your comment about NFL and boxing. People all over the world know about the Williams sisters, Messi, Ronaldo or Mbappe. Some people heard about Connor McGregor and Muhammad Ali but that's it for boxing. The average guy in the world do not know who Brady is, or he knows he was Gisele Bundchen husband.
It's interesting that fans used to discredit the 'value' of championships won by teams back in the 50s and 60s (especially Bill Russell and Wilt get shitted on) because it was a weak, mostly white league. Now there is a massive influx of international talent so I guess that means that all championships won in the 80s/90s and 00s are worth less now because it was a mostly American league. Basketball keeps growing worldwide so there's no reason to think this trend isn't going to continue. The NBA might end up looking more like the major European soccer-football leagues. This will mean that native-born players get pushed out as the overall talent level increases. The resentment will keep growing.
I think the NBA and sports analysts are worst than the players. NBA refs let players assault Luka and Jokic and they never call fouls. Luka got 3 techs in 3 games for just talking to other players. The NBA hates European players but they want them to come here for revenues. Even worst are Sports analysts who think like Perkins said, “The NBA is for Black men.” Luka Doncic is never in the top discussions for MVP no matter what he does.
As Usual Bro another Great Show with Great Facts. I for one feel tht he's only picking on the European Players and NO MATTER WHT, wht he's doing needs to STOP even if he has to be EXPELLED from the game, let him go to China to play ball and then he'll see the nxt side of the story for every story has 2 sides.
I guess it's come to the point where the gaps in fundamentals are beginning to show, and the gap in physical "talent" is getting narrower... and there's a worry among the Basketball Americans that "this might be it"... Much of the Basketball Americans' foothold in American basketball culture started in the 60s as it coincided with the "cultural revolution" in that era. It is difficult to accept that things might change after all these decades. The thing about the European spirit (and primarily Classical Americana) is that they probably have the most explicit drive to "evolve" and "adapt" and "thrive"... all by themselves, without any aid from think tanks and super pac tier groups. That is their advantage... and I think a lot of folks are getting irked by the fact that these Euros are beginning to use that to the hilt and start to get results from it.
The Americans don't care. Just look at how they treat the World Cup of Basketball. So long as that kind of Arrogance is permitted, this would continue.
Jordan and Pippen treated Tony Kukoc like shit because of jerry Krause the gm of the bulls at the time because he was glossing over kukoc instead of renegotiating Jordan and Pippen’s contracts
As long as the NBA makes money from foreign markets they will be open to foreigners. Not only that it gives the NBA more credibility because the NBA has the best players in the world not just the best players in the USA.
The European well foreign players in general typically have different and unique play styles that are better than American players they make the game look easy without that much athleticism that’s why I think their jealous
Today best NBA Players are Europeans: Nikola Jokic Giannis Antetokounmpo Luka Doncic Joel Embiid Rudy Gobert Victor Wenbanyama Lauri Markannen Pablo Banchero Krista Porzingis Domantas Sabonis Alperen Sengun
@@uncledrew6173 Doesn't make him European. He was born and raised in the US. He's an American who has Italian dual citizenship through paternal lineage.
I think US americans in general have issues with us Europeans and it is for different reasons. 1. Many players of this current generation are angry because Foreigners in general expose their lack of professionalism and you can see the shift. Kobe and Dirk had nothing but respect for each other because of their professionalism, same with Tony Parker. Then came the time of LeBron and just think back to the finals and the video he and Wade made about Dirk, they never would have done this to a fellow US american. It exposes the US antics of flashy dunks, hand shakes and overly reaction to a made shot as what they are...antics! Also many US players still think of europeans as soft which is wrong for the modern game, they just are more mild mannered and quiet. 2. I think People of the US have a big problem with Europeans being the best basketball players right now. The fact that Luka & Jokic dominate the league really rubs some people the wrong way and while I hate to bring this into it I also do believe it has something to do with their skin color. Basketball is a sport mostly played by Black people and I hate to say it but multiple people form the US I know are appauled that white players are dominating right now, some outright calling it impossible which is just sad. In all fairness it was the same in Baseball and I believe the english would react similar to an afro american being the best cricket player on the planet, that doesn't make it less sad. 3. The NBA and journalists hate Europeans because they expose the fraudulent league system. Luka dominated because the way we develop talents is far more effective than the US college basketball system, yet the NCAA loves those dollars and TV ratings so exposing their system as the sham it is must hurt. Also Europeans will be much more willing to speak up against the league because we know how a league should function, just take Darko just now after their disgusting loss to the lakers. 4. An actual example to prove my point are Franz Wagner & Paolo Banchero. Both have similar stats, they are the definition of Co-Stars on equal footing, if anything Franz does the slightest bit more more for the team as he takes on Guard duties at times yet the only I ever read is how Paolo Banchero is their franchiose players you can build a team around. It is nothing but unfair and I know Franz doesn't give a single damn about it but it is just incredibly disingenious. I think the only people who like foreigners are franchises and their fans, because those people are far more loyal (Giannis, Joki, SGE, Doncic, Parker, Dirk, even Embiid and I tell you Wemby ain't gonna leave the Spurs too) and you can build a dynasty around them. Other than that only people who like great fundamentally sound basketball without all those antics like in the previous era prefer Europeans to my knowledge.
That face of the league stuff the media talks about is foolish. There is talent all over the league both American and international players the league doesn't even promote. The league needs to move on from lebron so others can shine. Peace
Former Euro league players say it's much easier to score in the NBA. American players are just jealous that the Euros make scoring look easy. I laugh every time I see Jokic or Luka doing a slow Euro step and faking everyone out of position
Euro team would destroy USA team if they were to play right now. Luka, Giannis, Jokic, Wemby and Sabonis would absolutely destroy Curry/Shai, LeBron, Edwards, Jackson and Tatum EASILY
So 1 guard and 4 bigs for team Europe? Who would play SG and SF? And who’s on team Europe’s bench? Team USA’s bench has KD, Ja, Booker, Dame, Trae, Haliburton, Zion, AD, Kawhi, Butler and Mitchell.
what’s crazy about that comment about anthony edwards or ja being the new face of the nba is that they shouldn’t ever be. jokic and giannis should be. two standup young men that care deeply about their families, are down to earth and humble, funny and charismatic, and extremely hard working and driven. those are the guys that should be the FACE of the league, not a guy that likes pretending to be from “da hood” and a guy that’s sleeping around everywhere paying women thousands of dollars for abortions. also, “european players are held to a lower standard” are you kidding? people weren’t even talking about giannis the last 2 years before he won for mvp discussion. also if he’s talking about white europeans specifically, the nba media doesn’t even talk about white players except for to make fun of them in some low or high light.
"Why Do American Players HATE EUROPEAN SUPERSTARS" Answer: Because the Euro players are talented with actual fundamental b'ball skills. They don't rely on unreal quickness and athleticism, and they are still better than those with more physical gifts. Draymond is a genuine a'hole who should be booted out of the league. And lets get real. Draymond and Gilbert are absolutely racist.
Ain't surprised about Gil giving low takes since the only time he's high was when he smokes😂🤣. I mean he wanted to be a pimp, didn't wanna run since it'll ruin his new shoes, that for sure is someone who'll give dumb takes🤷♂️.
Thats not true , Draymond loves Luka and respects the hell out of him and praises him any chance he gets , so i dont know what made up article you get that info from that he call Luka overrated but he never did lol
People mistake high usage for dominance There's still to this day only been 1 non American player to lead a team to a championship... Jokic Literally ONE championship
GIl has some funny takes. I watch the dude for the lols. He certainly has biases, I mean he really hates Manu for no reason I think:p Anyway can't take everything he says seriously. About Green, I don't care if he punched a white, black or yellow dude. He needs to stay off the court because he is dangerous to others.
I think that players like Draymond are quintessentially American. it is about protecting the idea of American superiority. The winner of your championships are not presented as “world champion” (of what world?) for nothing. The records broken by NBA players and the talks about the technical superiority of this generation (compare to the 90') seem far away, knowing that these Europeans are not even extraordinary by European standards. Americans think they like Soccer, aka football, when their women win, even though women's soccer is negligible worldwide (but growing a little bit...). It has absolutely nothing to do with basketball. Americans think they are the best in sports. And for several decades, they have had a shock. The myth collapses. they are just becoming average, even if they are still overall better in that sport of basketball.
I wanted to blame Arenas’ hate and stupidity on CTE but then I remember he was a finesse PG not who made his money on 3s and midrange Js not some middle linebacker or lineman who got hit in the head in the head violently every play of the game. So Arenas doesn’t have CTE, he was just born this stupid.
At this point it's time to do USA vs foreign born in the All Star game. It'll settle this once and for all. And I think team international would win honestly. Even with Ben Simmons on the roster.
Agent 0 definitely has a big mouth for someone achieve as little as him yet to be so critical on those superstars lol As a basketball player He is famous for his shooting (not basketball) yet act like he is one of the past superstar, he ain’t even HOF worthy lol He should keep his opinion to himself
American NBA players are generally extremely entitled irritating don't care about the fans. I am not saying all American players are like this but European players like Giannis and Jokic are dominant and a lot more humble and down to earth.
I enjoy watching international players more than US players because they take the game more seriously and aren't spoiled the way US players are.
Exactly!! Was watching luka vs jokic and they were laughing and hugging but they were actually competing. Jokic straight up grabbed luka and forced him on his feet to avoid easy 2 points
100% US players are bloody spoiled drama queens !!!
agreed
It’s usually just black American players who are selfish. Greedy and unbearable
us players are boring to watch, they only play iso, shoot threes and do dunks, too one dimensional
The American NBA-players (most, not all) don't like the Europeans because the Europeans style of play exposes the American style of play and how poor it is, and really that all that flash-and-fire with hyperdunks, stupid handshakes etc is just for kids. Same thing with many basketball journalists.
This is the take
Exactly right! South American players also play team ball. Oscar Schmidt and Manu!
You are damn right with that one
This is exactly right. American players get too hyped on athleticism, forgetting that sometimes all it takes to beat athleticism is skill.
i love this take. “american style” basketball is very selfish and flashy but it’s simply not particularly effective at winning and involves a lot of bending the actual rules which is risky.
all the yelling and trash talk and handshakes and pregame rituals are indeed for children and teenagers, you’re absolutely right.

Because the thing is that LeBron does not fear competition: he would be great in any era, no matter against whom he would be playing. But in a league full of people like Luka and Giannis, Arenas and Perkins would be on the bench at best, in the G-League at worst.
The simple fact is that Black Americans are allowed to say these things without repurcussion. Black Americans are not the only people that faced oppression yet they behave like that is the case.
Black Americans are territorial. There are many cases where we can accuse them of trying to steal our culture(or other people's culture.) However that is followed up by accusations of biggotry.
Yet they somehow get the pass to be as xenophobic as they want to be. Cause a disproportionate amount of chaos and mayhem, yet justify it by using "their history" as an excuse
Black Americans have thrown The backlash against asians has been an issue for quite some time. Trust me, I know that from experience. But they somehow get the pass as its difficult to even report discrimination from them. All because they have this "history" which somehow gives them permission to discriminate other people without consequence.
And its a cultural problem. A culture that insists that no matter what they do, or say, it does not count as discrimination
Black Americans believe they can not be accused of discrimination due to their "history." That leads them to say whatever they want to others without fear of consequence
Black privilege. U cannot be racist to white or Asian people
Its sad that instead of admitting that international basketball has caught up with US and start to reevaluate US basketball, they waste their time creating these false narratives against these international players.
For Europeans, the golden generation of players is the one of Petrovic, Kukoc, Sabonis senor, Gallis, Epi, Costa, and so many others of this generation. It's purely an NBA narrative that European players had improved massively since the 90s
No it hasn’t caught up they changed the rules for Europe players
@@marvinmarshall9257Americans are also not as tough as they claim to be. If any of them dared to mess me with me...
I know one thing: if the NBA could organize an International vs US match during the All-Star weekend, I believe that the US team would be in deep water and might even lose. With players like Giannis, Jokic, Luka, Shea G, and Embiid in the starting five, and off the bench, you have Gobert, Kat, Sabonis, and Jamal Murray. That starting five could compete with anyone the US has got.
I believe that kind of All-Star game will be more competitive since pride will be on the line.
This
@@hectorarguelles1596 I hear this a lot but this is unfair to American players. He just listed 9 "international players" (international is a stretch as KAT was born in raised in the US but since plays for the Dominican NT because his mother is Dominican but then Embiid is now playing for Team US) that still leaves 3 spots open for the international team. So you are going to take away those 3 spots from deserving American players to give to underserving international players just to make an international team? Not only do many players get bonuses for making the all-star game it is also a lifelong accomplishment and honor for a players legacy to make an all-star game. Yes players like Lebron and Durant have multiple but many players just get selected to one or two.
Learn to read. He said All-Star foreign vs All-star USA match. They all get included@@gabepizza
Kat is American bro.
Black Americans are very territorial and take pride in the fact their the best players historically. So they feel threatened which is ignorant and has become a problem for team USA. Pride comes before the fall. It shouldn't be like this but truth hurts. Stephen A, Perkins or Shay Shay won't admit this. I will along with my black wife.
I agree with you. They are very territorial, and discriminate me
Black american players, to clarify.
Thankyou so much! And they get away with it because the media insists they cannot be racist.
Its them! Its always them!
Ruining our neighborhoods that should be safe!
And if we call the cops on them, they say they act that way due to poverty

Rick Ross: "And I got the gats, Gilbert Arenas" lol
4 first round exits 🔥🥶
Many black American players give giannis, embiid, Luka, joker and international players their props when ever they are asked about them. But guys like arenas stay hating.
The great ones always respect other greats. It's telling that it's dudes like Perkins and Arenas who do not.
Draymond has always been chatting absolute BS his whole life don't know why people pay attention anymore
As usual spot on commentary. Keep it going
Racism! Those guys being great players make guys like Gilbert arenas feel uncomfortable and insecure, when everything you do and think is define by race seeing guys like Luka and jokic succeed and reach heights that Gilbert never did, brings out his hate and insecurities.
The only player that followed Gilbert Arenas’ career advice just spent 25 games sitting at home. Another incident and he spends the next year at home.
Gilbert Arenas was never even being close to being as good as LUKA EMBID JOKIC and Greek Freak Gilbert’s career was literally nothing he didn’t accomplish anything
He was a top 5 PG until he got hurt
Draymond for sure has some undertone racist against international players, he is like players like Stephen Jackson, Gilbert arenas etc, etc, they hate it when international players get more attention
Gil must love discussing US Olympics Basketball... especially the 2004 team. Or maybe he just mentally erased that year.
European players bring to the game what many buddy buddy American 'superstars' don't. Dedication, commitment and humbleness. Draymond and friends just can't keep up anymore and they lack the mentality to adept or admit. This schoolyard behaviour is just logical.
The upcomming American (super)stars, seem to be build the more classical way. So when LBJ and the buddy generation retires we might see a better game.
Foreign players have also taken over MLB as well. Look at how many come from Japan, Korea, and central America
There's always been a ton of foreign players in the MLB even going back to the 70s.
Draymond needs some of that 80s-90s enforcement in the worst way....for a long time....till the scorecard is even...and makes his ass retire to a wheel chair.
I wonder how he would have reacted if he got destroyed by the likes of Ron Artest. Or Kermit Washington...
@@page8301 I'd settle for 4-5 games against the late 80s early 90s Pistons to handle it.
Ironically, had he tried that garbage with Sabonis (had he been released by the Soviets in the 80's) he'd not only get schooled on the court, but physically demolished if he tried any of that weak hissy fit nonsense.
Draymond is that 80s-90s dirty player
@@PystdammitDraymond would be playing for the Pistons.
Americans see the NBA as some golden goose to make them millionaires. Foreigners compete for those jobs.
"Dey tuk er jurrbs!"
Tatum is the best USA player under 30. The standards have dropped hard.
No
Anthony Edwards?
Anyone who is a fan of boxing will remember a similar situation in the 1990s and 2000s, when non-American heavyweight boxers began to dominate the sport. The American boxers and boxing establishment did everything they could to sabotage them, and it took around 20 years for them to be accepted.
The meaning of being a basketball player differs in USA/Europe, especially the NBA. American approach is individual overall, being a star, scoring most points, being MVP, Allstar, best on the team etc since the very beginning in High School. European basketball is more team-oriented and playing for a specific team carries more weight, cause European fans take it serious, it's not just a logo and a jersey color and playing for whoever pays more. Winning a cup means everything and nothing else is really that important unless it's extra along the way. A big reason for this might also be the fact that coaches in Europe are more similar to Army instructors than athlete "partners" as they are in the NBA, so you get the picture why athletes don't really celebrate individual awards and goals like that unless it's after winning a cup... I think coaches like Pablo Laso would probably make somebody like James Harden or Jordan Poole cry like a girl or get kicked off the team.
change in overall playstyle helps these euros/international players. less physical, a big plus to be athletic but it's now more on pace and skills. This is a disaster for these american atheletes. yes, it's great for older superstars like steph, KD and LBJ's career. it prolongs and help them get great numbers but the current play style is exactly how these euro/international players play. it's like all natural for them now. adjustment period is minimal and their skillsets are fully utilized hence, great numbers and MVP discussions.
Euro players are way more physicial than American players nowaday. Jokic, Luka, Embiid, Giannis, Sabonis... They play hard, way harder than most American stars today.
I’m obviously American and we have a lot of mfs that make us look bad. *Even in UFC with Colby Covington disrespecting Leon Edwards’ father who was killed* all while wearing the American flag “representing” us. I don’t stand for that. I was actually on Edwards side.
I love all foreign nba players. Foreigners really dominate in all of sports!! A lot of Americans lack humbleness and they just straight up disrespectful.
Colby intentionally tries to be an A hole to get attention. Unfortunately people don’t care as much if you don’t plead for attention. Not that it makes it ok how he acts but at least he’s aware of what an Q hole he is.
@@yeelahowah7476 USA haven't won a world championship in basketball since 2014, you've been swept by Europeans. We don't even play NFL here, so at least you got that right.
@@yeelahowah7476stfu we got rugby go look at what that is. Just as tough if not more than nfl. Not built like that stfu. Boxing ain't even a full fight. Leon Edwards is British and the welterweight champ. Islam is the light weight champ.
@@yeelahowah7476 The answer is much more simple. People all over the world play Football (or soccer).
What's the point of saying North America will beat the world in American Football ?
The most famous sportsmen of the world are football players or tennis players.
@@yeelahowah7476 I was responding to your comment about NFL and boxing. People all over the world know about the Williams sisters, Messi, Ronaldo or Mbappe. Some people heard about Connor McGregor and Muhammad Ali but that's it for boxing. The average guy in the world do not know who Brady is, or he knows he was Gisele Bundchen husband.
It's interesting that fans used to discredit the 'value' of championships won by teams back in the 50s and 60s (especially Bill Russell and Wilt get shitted on) because it was a weak, mostly white league. Now there is a massive influx of international talent so I guess that means that all championships won in the 80s/90s and 00s are worth less now because it was a mostly American league. Basketball keeps growing worldwide so there's no reason to think this trend isn't going to continue. The NBA might end up looking more like the major European soccer-football leagues. This will mean that native-born players get pushed out as the overall talent level increases. The resentment will keep growing.
Black Americans have that logic
I think the NBA and sports analysts are worst than the players. NBA refs let players assault Luka and Jokic and they never call fouls. Luka got 3 techs in 3 games for just talking to other players. The NBA hates European players but they want them to come here for revenues. Even worst are Sports analysts who think like Perkins said, “The NBA is for Black men.” Luka Doncic is never in the top discussions for MVP no matter what he does.
As Usual Bro another Great Show with Great Facts. I for one feel tht he's only picking on the European Players and NO MATTER WHT, wht he's doing needs to STOP even if he has to be EXPELLED from the game, let him go to China to play ball and then he'll see the nxt side of the story for every story has 2 sides.
I guess it's come to the point where the gaps in fundamentals are beginning to show, and the gap in physical "talent" is getting narrower... and there's a worry among the Basketball Americans that "this might be it"...
Much of the Basketball Americans' foothold in American basketball culture started in the 60s as it coincided with the "cultural revolution" in that era. It is difficult to accept that things might change after all these decades.
The thing about the European spirit (and primarily Classical Americana) is that they probably have the most explicit drive to "evolve" and "adapt" and "thrive"... all by themselves, without any aid from think tanks and super pac tier groups.
That is their advantage... and I think a lot of folks are getting irked by the fact that these Euros are beginning to use that to the hilt and start to get results from it.
Or affirmative action programs ;-)
Appreciate you
I'm from EU and I aprroooveee thii messageee !
The Americans don't care. Just look at how they treat the World Cup of Basketball. So long as that kind of Arrogance is permitted, this would continue.
Y’all did not see how Michael Jordan treated Toni Kukoc before he became his teammate😭
Jordan and Pippen treated Tony Kukoc like shit because of jerry Krause the gm of the bulls at the time because he was glossing over kukoc instead of renegotiating Jordan and Pippen’s contracts
That was a payment dispute. Not a dispute about Kukoc
Jordan and Pippen were unhappy about their contracts. They believed they were underpaid. So with Kukoc...
As long as the NBA makes money from foreign markets they will be open to foreigners. Not only that it gives the NBA more credibility because the NBA has the best players in the world not just the best players in the USA.
Its because the European players are better, more skillful and they cant stop em.
The European well foreign players in general typically have different and unique play styles that are better than American players they make the game look easy without that much athleticism that’s why I think their jealous
But that Gilbert clip did make me laugh, no jokes! 🤣🤣🤣
I've always thought that 0 in agent 0 was a description of him as a person.
Today best NBA Players are Europeans:
Nikola Jokic
Giannis Antetokounmpo
Luka Doncic
Joel Embiid
Rudy Gobert
Victor Wenbanyama
Lauri Markannen
Pablo Banchero
Krista Porzingis
Domantas Sabonis
Alperen Sengun
Banchero is from USA, only went to Italy for the first time this year.
@@jimmywalker8354 He has the Italian nationality because his father is Italian. He went there when he was a teenager.
@@uncledrew6173 Doesn't make him European. He was born and raised in the US. He's an American who has Italian dual citizenship through paternal lineage.
@@fangiscool1 He's European raised by an Italian father with American citizenship, it's the same.
Embiid is not European he is from Cameroon which is in Africa
I don't listen to anyone who's on the Clutch Sports payroll, like Gibert Arenas aka sharp shooter
I think US americans in general have issues with us Europeans and it is for different reasons.
1. Many players of this current generation are angry because Foreigners in general expose their lack of professionalism and you can see the shift. Kobe and Dirk had nothing but respect for each other because of their professionalism, same with Tony Parker.
Then came the time of LeBron and just think back to the finals and the video he and Wade made about Dirk, they never would have done this to a fellow US american.
It exposes the US antics of flashy dunks, hand shakes and overly reaction to a made shot as what they are...antics!
Also many US players still think of europeans as soft which is wrong for the modern game, they just are more mild mannered and quiet.
2. I think People of the US have a big problem with Europeans being the best basketball players right now. The fact that Luka & Jokic dominate the league really rubs some people the wrong way and while I hate to bring this into it I also do believe it has something to do with their skin color. Basketball is a sport mostly played by Black people and I hate to say it but multiple people form the US I know are appauled that white players are dominating right now, some outright calling it impossible which is just sad. In all fairness it was the same in Baseball and I believe the english would react similar to an afro american being the best cricket player on the planet, that doesn't make it less sad.
3. The NBA and journalists hate Europeans because they expose the fraudulent league system.
Luka dominated because the way we develop talents is far more effective than the US college basketball system, yet the NCAA loves those dollars and TV ratings so exposing their system as the sham it is must hurt. Also Europeans will be much more willing to speak up against the league because we know how a league should function, just take Darko just now after their disgusting loss to the lakers.
4. An actual example to prove my point are Franz Wagner & Paolo Banchero. Both have similar stats, they are the definition of Co-Stars on equal footing, if anything Franz does the slightest bit more more for the team as he takes on Guard duties at times yet the only I ever read is how Paolo Banchero is their franchiose players you can build a team around. It is nothing but unfair and I know Franz doesn't give a single damn about it but it is just incredibly disingenious.
I think the only people who like foreigners are franchises and their fans, because those people are far more loyal (Giannis, Joki, SGE, Doncic, Parker, Dirk, even Embiid and I tell you Wemby ain't gonna leave the Spurs too) and you can build a dynasty around them. Other than that only people who like great fundamentally sound basketball without all those antics like in the previous era prefer Europeans to my knowledge.
Tim Duncan, Tony Parker Ginoble.. foreign players
Duncan is American. He is the son of immigrants.
Historical context can be difficult when it’s the opposite of what you’re used to.
Funny some former and current NBA players are worse than the very media they complain about
They are part of the media
Ayo 👏🏿 we finna 👏🏿 so you be sayin 👏🏿 Ayo hol up 👏🏿
Lmao ja and ant being the face of the league is hilarious considering how much they implode on themselves. Brand value would tank so badly
That face of the league stuff the media talks about is foolish. There is talent all over the league both American and international players the league doesn't even promote. The league needs to move on from lebron so others can shine. Peace
What are you talking about? Ant is perfectly fine.
It's because they are taking a "brothers" spot that's why. 😂
Gilbert Arenas genuinely looked like a psychopath there 😂😂
they are afraid that their corner of the world will be changed
Joker wasn’t killed in the media Giannis got beat up more than him.
Draymond never had nothing but good things to say about Luka though
Actually Harden is among the last 6 mvps you mean 5 mvps.
Hate to be “that guy” but i’d change your thumbnail typo . In that usage of the word it’d just be “Europeans” without the apostrophe
I wish Draymond would pick a fight with a Joker, watching his brothers slowly rushing their way to the court lol
Former Euro league players say it's much easier to score in the NBA. American players are just jealous that the Euros make scoring look easy. I laugh every time I see Jokic or Luka doing a slow Euro step and faking everyone out of position
Kobe was a product and proponent of the European system.
Is the answer the Bell Curve???
Draymond said the truth, foreign players are not under much pressure to win… Media talks more about American players than European players…
Used to respect Draymond. But his due date has expired. Time to go.
Euro team would destroy USA team if they were to play right now. Luka, Giannis, Jokic, Wemby and Sabonis would absolutely destroy Curry/Shai, LeBron, Edwards, Jackson and Tatum EASILY
Aye Shai is a foreign player also he’s from Canada
So 1 guard and 4 bigs for team Europe? Who would play SG and SF? And who’s on team Europe’s bench? Team USA’s bench has KD, Ja, Booker, Dame, Trae, Haliburton, Zion, AD, Kawhi, Butler and Mitchell.
@@gggyy7104 Giannis, Wemby and Sabonis can guard any position, you trippin haard
How many of them are actually Europeans by blood?
@@KRISTOPHERFRESNIDO They are all getting cooked by any fast guard like Fox and Ja
Why is Dončić on this thumbnail with Green..Green actually loves Luka, probably the only European he doesn’t hate.
what’s crazy about that comment about anthony edwards or ja being the new face of the nba is that they shouldn’t ever be.
jokic and giannis should be. two standup young men that care deeply about their families, are down to earth and humble, funny and charismatic, and extremely hard working and driven. those are the guys that should be the FACE of the league, not a guy that likes pretending to be from “da hood” and a guy that’s sleeping around everywhere paying women thousands of dollars for abortions.
also, “european players are held to a lower standard”
are you kidding? people weren’t even talking about giannis the last 2 years before he won for mvp discussion.
also if he’s talking about white europeans specifically, the nba media doesn’t even talk about white players except for to make fun of them in some low or high light.
Jealous!!
"Why Do American Players HATE EUROPEAN SUPERSTARS" Answer: Because the Euro players are talented with actual fundamental b'ball skills. They don't rely on unreal quickness and athleticism, and they are still better than those with more physical gifts. Draymond is a genuine a'hole who should be booted out of the league. And lets get real. Draymond and Gilbert are absolutely racist.
Wow I didn't know Arenas and Draymond loved America so much. Oh wait....
They only love a very specific kind of American….
Didn't Draymond kneel and disrespect the American national anthem multiple times?
7:09 Giannis can’t be the future face of nba he currently is one of the guys
Embiid meses to show up in the playoffs
Arenas is like alot of girls, he seeks attention so the best thing is to just ignore him as much possible.
You ignore girls? I will take em
Ain't surprised about Gil giving low takes since the only time he's high was when he smokes😂🤣. I mean he wanted to be a pimp, didn't wanna run since it'll ruin his new shoes, that for sure is someone who'll give dumb takes🤷♂️.
Thats not true , Draymond loves Luka and respects the hell out of him and praises him any chance he gets , so i dont know what made up article you get that info from that he call Luka overrated but he never did lol
because they got their ass kick by the european 😂
Gilbert Arenas 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️ so what does he think teams that passed Jokic are thinking to themselves???
European and international players are just better fundamentally and at shooting with better personalities and demeanors and aren't arrogant losers
Petrovic, Divac and Sabonis dad were NOT soft
International players remind them the NBA is now more entertainment than sport, not yet WWE level of fake, but getting there
Do you remember how much criticism got Melania Trump because she is a foreign born first lady and despite she was the best American first lady ever?
Imagine white guy doing this to only black players
Green not a hof he’s known cause of curry. He’s not a average role player
People mistake high usage for dominance
There's still to this day only been 1 non American player to lead a team to a championship...
Jokic
Literally ONE championship
Giannis won a chip too. Two players so far luka is still young he just turned 25.
@@markoshpuza1296 yes I forgot Giannis that's still only two and Luka ain't gonna do shit
Draymond needs to go he's angry and by the time he comes back it will be time to retire😂
Its cuz most of the best players now are non American born
GIl has some funny takes. I watch the dude for the lols.
He certainly has biases, I mean he really hates Manu for no reason I think:p
Anyway can't take everything he says seriously.
About Green, I don't care if he punched a white, black or yellow dude. He needs to stay off the court because he is dangerous to others.
It´s just tribalism and it won´t change where the sport is heading at all. I just hope Draymond gets a taste of his own medicine before he retires.
Why? It’s racism
Im just glad AD isnt on a real team. Instead of carring the lakers. Hed have that team right at the top.
European stars are showing up the American stars right now! Simple
Xenophobia is prolly why
I think that players like Draymond are quintessentially American. it is about protecting the idea of American superiority. The winner of your championships are not presented as “world champion” (of what world?) for nothing.
The records broken by NBA players and the talks about the technical superiority of this generation (compare to the 90') seem far away, knowing that these Europeans are not even extraordinary by European standards.
Americans think they like Soccer, aka football, when their women win, even though women's soccer is negligible worldwide (but growing a little bit...).
It has absolutely nothing to do with basketball. Americans think they are the best in sports. And for several decades, they have had a shock. The myth collapses. they are just becoming average, even if they are still overall better in that sport of basketball.
It's wild how ignorant you are. You have no idea what you are talking about. You don't see attacks like this from White Americans.
I wanted to blame Arenas’ hate and stupidity on CTE but then I remember he was a finesse PG not who made his money on 3s and midrange Js not some middle linebacker or lineman who got hit in the head in the head violently every play of the game.
So Arenas doesn’t have CTE, he was just born this stupid.
Really Draymond’s targeting foreign born players??? Lol!!!
At this point it's time to do USA vs foreign born in the All Star game. It'll settle this once and for all. And I think team international would win honestly. Even with Ben Simmons on the roster.
This would be fun!
Agent 0 definitely has a big mouth for someone achieve as little as him yet to be so critical on those superstars lol
As a basketball player He is famous for his shooting (not basketball) yet act like he is one of the past superstar, he ain’t even HOF worthy lol
He should keep his opinion to himself
He Is car driver
Nukric is American, but yeah there is a weird hate towards European/Foreign players
Nurkic is American? Hahaha good one
American NBA players are generally extremely entitled irritating don't care about the fans. I am not saying all American players are like this but European players like Giannis and Jokic are dominant and a lot more humble and down to earth.
You're confusing black Americans with all Americans.
Thats black Americans
